To operate the Firefighter Test program:
The FIREFIGHTER TEST is based on the Gerkin Protocol developed by Dr. Richard Gerkin of the Phoenix (Arizona) Fire Department. It is a sub-maximal graded treadmill evaluation used by many Fire Departments across the United States to assess the condition of the firefighters. The program operates as follows:

• Warm-Up: During warm-up, the treadmill runs at 3.0 mph (4.8 kph), 0% incline for 3 minutes.
• Stage 1: At 3 minutes, treadmill speed increases gradually to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The test begins at 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). During the test, heart rate is continuously monitored.
•  Stage 2: After one minute, treadmill incline increases to 2%.
• Stage 3: After one minute, treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph (8.0 kph).
• Stages 4 through 11: After every odd minute, treadmill incline increases an additional 2%. After every even minute, treadmill speed increases by 0.5 mph (0.8 kph). Once the user’s heart rate exceeds the target HR (85% of maximum), the individual continues the elevation for an additional 15 seconds. During this 15 second period, the evaluation remains at the stage where the target HR is exceeded, with speed or grade unchanged. If the HR does not return to or below the target HR, the evaluation ends and the final evaluation stage is recorded. If the HR returns to or below the target HR, the program continues at the point where it would have been had the program not stabilized for 15 seconds.
• Test Completion: The test is completed when user heart rate exceeds target for more than 15 seconds or the user completes all 11 stages, whichever occurs first. The treadmill will enter a Cooldown cycle for 3 minutes at 3.0 mph
  (4.8 kph), 0% incline.
  NOTE: You must wear the heart rate strap during the FIREFIGHTER TEST to monitor your heart rate.

TRAINING INFORMATION

To assist you in your training program, this chapter provides you with exercise principles, tips for training and hints to stay motivated climbing up the conditioning ladder.
THE FIRST STEP TO A BETTER LIFESTYLE
With the STAR TRAC E-TR TREADMILL , you’ve taken an important first step to achieving your fitness goal. But, it’s important to have the right fitness tools to stay motivated and achieve results. About half of all people who start an exercise program quit within 6-12 months. What is the key to success for the other half? Motivation!
As you may know, exercise reduces the factors associated with the development of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and back disorders. Researchers have concluded that a healthful life-style including regular exercise can  extend your life expectancy by as much as fifteen years! More importantly, exercise will help make all your years – no matter how may there are – productive and enjoyable.
What constitutes a regular exercise regimen? If you stick with a consistent workout program for 30 minutes, three times a week, for 3 months, you will be on your way to a long-term fitness program. Part of the motivation for a regular  exercise regimen will stem from the results you will both see and feel after three months. In fact, many exercisers start to experience results in as early as one week!
GETTING STARTED – WALKERS AND RUNNERS
For fitness newcomers or veterans, the STAR TRAC E-TR TREADMILL offers tailor- made walking and running programs. The following information will be useful when developing your own exercise program.
Assessing Fitness Level

Conducting a cardiovascular endurance assessment is a great way to start an exercise regimen. The results obtained from the FITNESS TEST on your STAR TRAC E-TR TREADMILL provide great baseline information to help determine  your proper workout intensity levels, and it serves as a great motivational tool for showing improvements over time. Below is a simple test to follow. This assessment should only be used with apparently healthy adults.
The FITNESS TEST is a modified version of the Blake and Ware protocol for maximal VO2 treadmill testing. The FITNESS TEST requires 12 minutes to complete. During the FITNESS TEST, treadmill speed remains at a constant 3.4 mph. Treadmill incline is set at 0% during the first minute, increases to 2% during the second minute, and increases by 1%-per-minute for the remainder of the test. Your heart rate results are compared with charted data for your corresponding age and gender. Test results include your calculated VO2 max. VO2 max is a physiological measurement of a body’s ability to absorb oxygen, and has specific correlation to your fitness level.
The Warm Up
Warming-up prepares you for physical activity by increasing body temperature, allowing the muscles to relax and contract more smoothly and efficiently, and lubricating the joints. Good warm-up exercises include walking, bicycling, jogging and light calisthenics. Proper warm-up may also help prevent injuries and reduce the likelihood of cardiac abnormalities. A mild sweat is a good indication that the body is sufficiently warmed-up.
Pre-Exercise Stretching
A flexibility program prior to walking or running is designed to help improve performance and reduce the risk of injury during the activity. When you are stretching, remember these simple rules:

• An active warm-up is recommended prior to vigorous stretching exercises. If stretches are performed, they should be done with caution, so as to not over stretch muscles.
• Do not force a stretch. The degree of stretching should not cause significant pain.
• Hold the stretch for 10 to 15 seconds without bouncing.
• Repeat each stretch two or three times for increased flexibility.
• Try to maintain good posture and remember to breathe during the stretch.

The following muscle groups should be stretched/warmed up for any walking or running program.

• Quadriceps
• Hamstrings
• Calves
• Glutes
• Inner thighs
• Back Muscles
• Chest
• Shoulder muscles
• Hip flexors

F.I.T. Principle
Every cardiovascular program should be developed based on frequency, intensity and duration.

1. Frequency – the number of exercise sessions per week.
   Regular exercise should be performed at least three or four days a week to be beneficial, although fewer sessions may be sufficient for some. Those in superior physical condition typically train five to seven days per week.

2. Intensity – how hard each exercise is.
   Intensity is dependent upon one’s fitness level. The range established by American College of Sports Medicine is 60% to 90% of maximal heart rate. If you are a beginning exerciser, maintaining an intensity level around 60% is beneficial. Typically, an estimated heart rate range is determined using a formula of 220-Age, factoring in resting heart rate, then multiplying by the desired percentage. See the accompanying chart on this page.
   The STAR TRAC E-TR TREADMILL offers both contact heart rate grips and heart rate strap compatibility, providing for easy monitoring of your heart rate during your workout. However, if you need to monitor your pulse manually, find the carotid or radial artery with your index finger, take a ten second count and multiply by six to determine your heart rate.| RPE SCALE
   ---|---
   0| Nothing at all
   1| Very, Very Easy
   2| Very Easy
   3| Easy
   4| Moderate
   5| Moderate/Strong
   6| Strong
   7| Very Strong
   8| Very, Very Strong
   9| Extremely Strong
   10| Strongest

Another common method for measuring workout intensity is Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE). This method provides a scale in which an exerciser can subjectively determine how hard the exercise feels while working in a target training  range. Descriptive words correspond with a 0 through 10 rating scale. The target range to exercise is between 4 and 6 on the rating scale. (This is a great method to use for those taking medications that effect one’s heart rate and for those  who want to fine tune how to be in touch with how their bodies respond to exercise). See the accompanying chart on this page. Time – the duration of each exercise session.

3. Time – the duration of each exercise session.
   The optimum duration of an exercise session depends on the intensity. Typically, an exercise session lasts for at least 20 to 30 minutes, although highly conditioned individuals often train continuously for an hour or longer. The duration of training is sometimes increased while intensity is decreased. This happens early in the training program to prepare the musculoskeletal system for vigorous exercise and to reduce the chance of injury.

REMEMBER: Use the F.I.T. principle as a guide to establish your program, however, make sure that you pay attention to how your body feels. Under- exercising may not be adequate for desired results. However, over-exercising can lead  to injuries. Be sure to start slowly, and pace yourself.
The Cool Down
A gradual cool down helps prevent blood from pooling in your legs which may result in feeling light headed and dizzy. Active contraction by continuous movement of your legs and arms during the cool down helps pump blood back to your heart and brain. It is also important to stretch your muscles during the cool down. Use stretching exercises similar to those done during the warm up (see muscles listed in the warm up section). Stretching in this phase can be held  for a longer period to help avoid muscle stiffness.
CLIMBING THE CONDITIONING LADDER – SUGGESTED PROGRAMS
The programs outlined below were developed by the director of services at the Lutheran General Hospital in Illinois. They were developed to help maintain or improve one’s level of fitness, depending on the current fitness level. Follow each of the 6 week programs as they move in progression. Once Program V is achieved, continue at this same level of intensity for continued programs, however, add variety by changing around workouts per week, duration or add interval  training (high intensity mixed with low intensity 70% – 90%). To add variety to intensity make, use of the incline feature on the STAR TRAC E-TR TREADMILL . This feature gives you an incline range from 0% to 15%.

Program I:| Week| Heart Rate (%)| Duration (minutes)| Workouts per Week
---|---|---|---|---
1,2| 60 to 65| 15| 3
3,4| 60 to 65| 15| 3
5,6| 60 to 65| 15| 3
Program II:| Week| Heart Rate (%)| Duration (minutes)| Workouts per Week
1,2| 65 to 70| 20| 3
3,4| 65 to 70| 20| 3
5,6| 65 to 70| 20| 3

PROGRAM VARIATION ON THE E-TR TREADMILL
Everyone can benefit from using treadmills because walking, jogging, and running provide results. The STAR TRAC E-TR TREADMILL gives you infinite workout possibilities. Here are some suggested programs for the deconditioned, average and athletic users.
Deconditioned (beginning) Exercisers
This group, which includes the overweight, cardiac rehabilitated and the senior population, requires more personal attention and one-on-one feedback for motivation rather than fancy programs built into the treadmill. Keeping everything simple is key. Before starting to exercise, becoming acquainted with basic treadmill features, including emergency stop button helps to make the exercise experience more fulfilling. The QUICK START program is a great place  to start. The user, at all times has control of his/her workout, and all basic information feedback is provided. Other programs recommended for this group are the HEART RATE CONTROL programs. These programs are great for learning  how the heart rate responds to various levels of intensity. However, knowing one’s target training range is necessary to operate these programs. Starting speed for this group ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 mph. The incline shouldn’t  exceed 5% elevation unless instructed differently by a fitness professional. Progression of intensity and time is gradual (weekly) and frequency progress may not occur until after 4 weeks.
Average Exercisers
This group is classified by those who live somewhat active lifestyles (exercising about twice a week) or fit into the age category of 18-35. Confidence levels from this group are higher than the deconditioned group, therefore the willingness  to try new or more advanced programs is greater. While most tend to enter immediately into a quick start, encouraging use of other programs may keep participation consistent and workouts more alive. The BURN CALORIES and  INCREASE ENDURANCE programs offer great variations that make good use of incline, making a running or walking workout more interesting and challenging.
Starting speed for this group ranges from about 3.0 to 3.5 mph. Typically, exercisers in this category will not use elevation, however, it is strongly encouraged for varied intensity and variability. Exercisers in this category may not be  comfortable exceeding 10% incline. Progression of intensity and time is gradual (weekly) and frequency progress may not occur until after 4 weeks.
Athletic Exercisers
Competitive and advance exercisers often look for varied programs for sports enhancement or maintenance. If competition is an interest, the 5K LOOP and 10K LOOP programs offer the user a route to follow and a means to monitor progress. While many of the programs include a warm-up phase, in the MANUAL make sure a warm-up and cool-down period is factored in. If you are doing a running workout, a good starting speed is 5.0 mph. If you are doing a walking or jogging workout, a good starting speed is 3.8 mph.
Target Training Chart
Use the following table for a quick glance at your target training zone for both heart rate and rate of perceived exertion.

TIPS TO STAY MOTIVATED
Set Goals and Reward yourself: Determine precisely what you want to achieve. By setting challenging, specific goals, you are setting yourself up to achieve them. When you achieve those goals, reward yourself. “It’s crucial (to reward  yourself),” according to Lave Metcalfe, Director of Program Development at the Campbell Institute for Health and Fitness in Camden, New Jersey. “Who quits a program because he’s having too much fun?” Example of tangible rewards: A  new pair of running shoes if you knock a minute off your time in the mile.
Schedule your workout: Get into the habit of working out at the same time each day. And, write that time on your calendar. Make keeping your workout schedule as important as eating or sleeping.
Watch your progress: Follow your movement on the Graphic Display to help pass time and cut down on boredom.
Plan an active vacation: If you know you’re going on a walking tour of Paris or on a mountain hiking trip next summer, you’ll look forward to getting into shape for it.
Exercise in numbers: Get a workout partner or exercise in a group. This will offer you support and a level of accountability, (not to let your partner or group down for not showing up).
Train for a race or enter an event: A race is a great goal toward which to work, and the excitement of competition is sure to keep you going. Try a 5K or a 10K run.
Avoid too much too soon: Stress and discomfort of an over-aggressive program can be overwhelming and lead to injuries.
Vary your workouts: Once accustomed to a program, vary the workout so that your routine doesn’t become  mundane. It’s also important to recruit new muscle fibers to a new exercise to keep the body stimulated to make improvements.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC E-TR TREADMILL .
Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or premature wear. This may result in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules.
Additionally, unusual symptoms, such as display codes and blown circuit breakers, should be reported to STAR TRAC PRODUCT SUPPORT DEPARTMENT at 800-503-1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660.
DAILY MAINTENANCE

• Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances by using a clean soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner, such as Formula 409 or FANTASTIK. Wipe down the display board, handrails, shroud and heart rate grips.
• NOTE: DO NOT spray the cleaner directly onto the display board or heart rate grips. Do not use liquid cleaner under the running belt.
• To ensure the longevity of the running belt, clean under the running belt with a soft, dry cloth. To clean, slide the cloth between the running belt and deck from one side of the frame to the other (you may need a ruler or similar tool  to slide the towel under the belt), then, holding the edges of the cloth, pull the cloth from the headcollar down to the tail roller.
• NOTE: DO NOT clean the running belt by activating the treadmill.
• Inspect the running belt for alignment and tension. Do not tighten the running belt every day. If you notice slipping, adjust the running belt tension using the instructions provided in “Adjustments-Slipping-Running Belt” (later in  this chapter), or contact Product Support as described at the beginning of this chapter.
• Ensure the power cord is not under the treadmill and is positioned away from the elevation screws. This will prevent the power cord from being pinched or from binding up the elevation screws.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

• Vacuum the floor under and around the treadmill. Do so with the treadmill at its maximum elevation or moved to another spot.
• NOTE: Take care not to damage the power cord while vacuuming.
• Inspect the inside surface of the running belt and the top surface of the running deck for unusual wear. Check the belt for a “glazed” condition (a smooth almost melted appearance). If the running belt appears glazed, replace the running  belt and flip or replace the running deck.
• NOTE: Never install a new running belt on a used deck.
• Inspect the display and handrail screws for security, and retighten if necessary.
• Inspect the display panel/keypad for wear.

BI-WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always turn the treadmill off and unplug the power cord before performing maintenance inside the motor compartment.

• Remove the motor shroud and vacuum around the motor and its ventilation holes. Avoid bumping or damaging parts normally protected by the shroud.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

• Wipe the elevation screws down with a clean dry cloth and coat them with silicon lubricant spray to prevent rust accumulation.

ADJUSTMENTS
The running belt and its headcollar, drive belt, tail roller, and running deck are designed to be self-centering, slip-free, and smooth-operating without the need for frequent adjustments. Running belt sideward movement, slipping, or grinding after extended use, or thumping during initial use, may be corrected by the following procedures:
Change Sideward Movement to TRACKING : If the running belt is not centered on the tail roller and is either too far left or right, adjust tracking using the following steps:

1. Turn the treadmill on. Increase treadmill speed to 3.0 mph (5.0 kaph).

2. Adjust tracking by adjusting the tail roller Allen screws (located at the back sides of the tail roller) with a 1/4″ Allen wrench in 1/4-turn increments.
   If the running belt is tracking to the left, adjust the running belt to track to the right. Tighten the left tailroller Allen screw by turning clockwise, or loosen the right tailroller bolt by turning counter-clockwise.
   If the running belt is tracking to the right, adjust the running belt to track to the left. Tighten the right tailroller Allen screw by turning clockwise or loosen the left tailroller bolt by turning counter-clockwise.

3. After the running belt appears to be tracking properly, increase the treadmill speed to 10.0 mph (16.0 kaph) and verify that the belt stays centered.

Slipping-Running Belt: Remove the motor shroud and operate the treadmill slowly at 1 to 2 mph (2 to 3 kaph). While observing the headcollar, walk on the belt and try to slow it down by gently applying pressure with your feet while  holding the handrails. If only the running belt, and not the headcollar, slows down, tighten the running belt by turning both the right and left tailroller adjustment bolts clockwise 1/4-turn. Repeat this adjustment until the running belt no  longer slips, ensuring that you turn both tailroller bolts an equal number of turns. Re-install the motor shroud. If the headcollar and the running belt both slow down, tighten the drive belt as described under “Slipping-Drive Belt”, below.
Thumping: Turn the treadmill off. Turn the right and left tailroller adjustment bolts counter-clockwise with the M6 Allen wrench until the running belt is loose. Note the number of times each bolt is turned. Remove excess accumulated  running deck wax from the tailroller with a credit card, a putty knife, or other flexible plastic implement. Tighten the running belt by turning the adjustment bolts clockwise the same number of turns as they were loosened. Turn the  treadmill on and check for sideward movement and/or slipping of the running belt. Tighten the tailroller adjustment bolts further, if necessary, in 1/4-turn increments.
REWAX BELT
Periodic running belt relaxing virtually eliminates belt down time, and maximizes the life of the belt. Whenever the present distance is 2000 miles (or 3000 km) more than the LAST DECK (last deck service), the start-up display will  scroll REWAX BELT. This is a reminder to have your maintenance or service provider perform the 5-minute belt relaxing procedure at your convenience. (Immediate service is not required). Wax is included in the treadmill.
TOOLS & MATERIALS
Bottle of Wax Powder (1)
Clean Towel (1)
Paint Stick or Ruler (1)
Diluted All-purpose Cleaner (409), or Bristle Brush
PROCEDURE
Apply wax powder while belt & deck are still warm (5 minutes minimum use) for optimum benefit.

1. CAUTION: turn treadmill power off and unplug the power cord before relaxing the belt.

2. CLEAN DECK & BELT:
   A. Using the paint stick or ruler, slide a towel under the middle of the belt from one side of the frame to the other.
   B. Hold the edges of the towel; pull to the tailroller; pull to the headcollar; then pull the belt down to wipe the remaining belt. TIP: Fold the dirty towel and shake into trash.

3. LIFT BELT: Lift the left side (facing display) of the belt, about 12 inches down from the motor shroud (see figure). Hold the belt up to elevate the belt from the deck.

4. SPREAD WAX: Flip the nozzle on the cap of the wax bottle. Point the nozzle at the deck. Be sure that the bottle is tilted at a downward angle. Squeeze the wax bottle twice between the running belt and the deck.
   TIP: Gently shake  the bottle between each squeeze.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, about 18 inches from the end of the deck.

6. Repeat steps 3 through 5, on the right side of the belt/deck.

7. WALK: Plug in the treadmill. Turn the treadmill ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Start the treadmill at 1 mph and walk on all sections of the belt and deck for 1 minute to ensure the wax has been evenly distributed and worked-in properly.

8. CLEANUP: Turn the treadmill power OFF. Remove any excess wax with diluted cleaner (409) and towel. TIP: Blow away extra wax first (like dust), then wipe.

9. DISPLAY UPDATE: Update the LAST DECK service mileage to remove the REWAX BELT message.

TROUBLESHOOTING

STAR TRAC E-TR TREADMILLS perform a self-test at the beginning of every workout. If a problem is detected, a message displays before or after the workout, depending on the nature of the problem. Star Trac recommends that you refer your questions about your STAR TRAC E-TR TREADMILL operation and suspected malfunctions to Star Trac’s Service Hotline at 800-503-1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660.
START-UP SERVICE MESSAGES
The following messages are displayed at the beginning of a workout if the associated problem is detected during self-test.
NO STOP – This error generally occurs when the Stop Switch is not connected tightly to the circuit board of the Display Control Panel. It may also happen if the circuitry associated with the switch develops a fault. When you see NO STOP:

• Set the ON/OFF switch to OFF; wait 2 seconds.
• Set the ON/OFF switch to ON. Notify Star Trac if additional assistance is needed. KEY DOWN – This error generally occurs when a key is held pressed while the ON/OFF switch is moved to ON. It may also happen if a key becomes stuck. When you see KEY DOWN:
• Set the ON/OFF switch to OFF; wait 2 seconds.
• Set the ON/OFF switch to ON. The treadmill should be operational again. Notify Star Trac if additional assistance is needed.

SPEED CHANGE: This error generally occur when the running belt speed sensor is disconnected, faulty, or misaligned relative to the revolutions-per- minute (RPM) sensor of the motor. It may also occur if the speed sensor cable is  damaged, or if the Motor Control Board (MCB) is misadjusted or faulty. When you see SPEED CHANGE:

• Set the ON/OFF switch to OFF; wait 2 seconds.
• Set the ON/OFF switch to ON. Notify Star Trac if additional assistance is needed.

ELEVATION STALL, ELEVATION RANGE OR ELEVATION LOST: These errors generally occur when the elevation (incline) potentiometer is faulty or out of limits, or the elevation motor is disconnected or receiving low power. They may also occur if the Motor Control Board (MCB) is faulty or the motor gears are stripped. They are usually accompanied by failure of the treadmill to rise from an elevation other than maximum (or descend from an elevation other than minimum), with attendant beep indication, when (or) is pressed. When you see ELEVATION STALL, ELEVATION RANGE OR ELEVATION LOST:

• Notify Star Trac for diagnosis and disposition.
